May 25 13:35:39 lol May 25 13:35:40 nope May 25 13:35:41 no xD May 25 13:35:57 it's related to being assigned a project to be done in one month when our stimates are or at least 6 months May 25 13:36:27 so, odds are they try to make as work on august, which is the complete opposite of our contract as employees here May 25 13:36:35 s/as/us/ May 25 13:36:35 ceene meant: so, odds are they try to make us work on august, which is the complete opposite of our contract as employees here May 25 13:36:40 but, they live in another universe with 48h per day, 60days per months and 30 months per year May 25 13:36:57 so, if that happens, we'll have to say "screw you and your alternate universe" May 25 13:37:28 ceene you must relax before the meeting May 25 13:37:34 play tetris! May 25 13:37:35 funny thing is the company has like 9 employees (3 of them which have been contracted this week) May 25 13:37:46 9? May 25 13:37:56 so, if the only two guys that do the real work (ahycka the PCB and myself the embedded programming) go away May 25 13:37:57 last year we were 4 xD May 25 13:38:04 the full company will fall down in a matter of minutes, really May 25 13:38:31 nooo ceene, our job is very easy May 25 13:38:37 JC, JB, JP, Nacho, Parraga, you, me, new Alvaro, Simon and the hamradio guy May 25 13:38:41 it can be done buy a monkey May 25 13:38:42 we're like 10 guys May 25 13:38:52 only ahycka and me do the products... May 25 13:39:08 lol May 25 13:39:16 s/buy/by May 25 13:39:23 you're missing a final / May 25 13:39:27 s/buy/by/ May 25 13:39:28 ahycka meant: s/by/by May 25 13:39:31 lol May 25 13:39:32 hahahahahaha May 25 13:39:37 maybe they got bought May 25 13:39:50 oh, no, but they think they've got a contract with a big company May 25 13:39:57 that's the project to do on 1 month May 25 13:40:06 i say "think" because they haven't signed anything yet May 25 13:40:13 but he's still contracted 3 new people to help work on that May 25 13:40:49 without money xD May 25 13:40:59 of course they'll only be doing the things that can, more or less, be done in one month May 25 13:40:59 hmm, 3months holidays loooooooool May 25 13:41:07 or the whole thing is a scam and your boss is going to run away with moneys ;) May 25 13:41:30 nah, my boss is stupid May 25 13:41:38 our part of the job, which requires a 12 layer PCB with an FPGA, DDR chip, a couple of ADCs, etc... and the firmware to load on that FPGA, of course has to be done on one month too... May 25 13:41:58 and its the biggest part of the project May 25 13:41:59 so May 25 13:42:01 no product May 25 13:42:03 no money May 25 13:42:08 no company May 25 13:42:12 holidays!!!!! May 25 13:42:17 just the time that manufacturing that PCB takes is almost beyond the 4 weeks timespan we've got for that May 25 13:42:42 so we've redacted a couple of pages with a realistic timeline and we'll see what happens May 25 13:42:58 holidays!!!! May 25 13:43:00 last time i had a conversation with our boss about pcb design timing he just told me to "let's work harder then!" May 25 13:43:07 so... May 25 13:43:13 it isn't look very good now May 25 13:43:14 well, usually being first to the market is better May 25 13:43:30 who knows, there might be some plan in that madness May 25 13:43:35 lol May 25 13:43:37 there isn't :) May 25 13:43:38 looooool May 25 13:43:52 we don't do consumer electronics May 25 13:43:59 nope May 25 13:44:03 and this is a special project managed by the european space agency May 25 13:44:11 already assigned to the bigger company we have the contract with May 25 13:44:29 so, really, unless someone has been smoking crack, there's no fucking way to do this May 25 13:45:23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7My0m7WSGlY May 25 13:45:39 :D May 25 13:46:07 i need lisa's pills May 25 13:46:07 xD May 25 15:49:46 well, we're still employed May 25 15:49:57 at least until the company completely goes broke May 25 15:52:08 :) May 25 15:54:55 ceene: i hope that doesn't happen though, lol .. or you're about to start your own company? May 25 15:55:47 we'd be happy to work here forever, as long as they respect our working conditions and our work in itself May 25 15:56:01 but more often than not, they forget about at least one of them... May 25 15:56:21 bad news is Yappari will have to wait till the weekend May 25 15:56:30 good news though is that some other guy from tmo has offered me his phone May 25 15:56:38 there's a lot of good people in this community :) May 25 15:57:29 i need yappari badly, lol ... but work comes first :) May 25 15:59:19 sorry, man :) May 25 16:03:17 :) May 25 16:03:34 ceene - the biggest number banner in the world May 25 16:03:35 ;) May 25 16:03:43 :D May 25 16:04:00 well, in WA world at least May 25 16:17:38 ceene: not even smoking crack helps to make a 12layer in 4 weeks, heck you won't get the PCB from PCBmanuf next 4 weeks even when you order it today May 25 16:22:42 page_fault_in_nonpaged_area May 25 16:22:46 gotta love windows May 25 16:29:37 :) May 25 16:30:00 why you trying to open pages having reached the end of the book, haha May 25 16:36:31 mine is still 'in transit' May 25 16:37:26 um, wrong chan May 25 16:39:28 ceene: it's a tad worrying when ESA has such poorly managed projects May 25 16:53:01 ha! LMD: 3300mah May 25 16:56:49 KotCzarny: my friend got goog one with windows ME. "windows is repairing registry. Windows can not find registry" May 25 16:57:02 :) May 25 16:57:35 my favourite is: Error: no error May 25 16:57:52 or in another iteration: Error: operation completed successfully May 25 16:58:23 offtopic: using oscp on windoze in cygwin shell via ssh to play nfs mounted files May 25 16:58:47 doing things not the windoze way. checked! May 25 16:58:59 KotCzarny: how "upstream" is cygwin? May 25 16:59:19 fmg: i dont understand that question May 25 16:59:36 as I am planning to use it to do some rsync over ssh, so I wonder about the security May 25 17:00:14 hard to say, but its updated and maintained, so i guess cygwin is as good as it can be assuming different worlds and apis May 25 17:00:17 well, how in sync is cygwin with upstream version s of th epackages May 25 17:00:31 rsync works nicely on windoze May 25 17:00:39 I know :) May 25 17:00:56 already tested it, now we're in process of making the final product May 25 17:01:25 3.1.2-1 May 25 17:01:35 what is it? May 25 17:01:44 rsync version available May 25 17:01:57 so i say its quite upstream May 25 17:02:01 well, I am more worried about openssh May 25 17:02:15 7.2p2-1 May 25 17:02:16 as rsync runs over ssh tunnel with public key auth May 25 17:02:58 hmm... May 25 17:03:01 |> metallica-EnterSandman.mp3 May 25 17:03:18 good :) May 25 17:03:20 OpenSSH_6.6.1p1 Ubuntu-2ubuntu2.7 May 25 17:03:23 hehe May 25 17:03:44 * KotCzarny turns up the volume and goes back to shooting aliens May 25 17:06:07 freemangordon: what's up with your effort to make linux 4.x workable on N900? May 25 17:06:30 Venemo_j: well, it works :) May 25 17:07:32 we have everything, but cameras SGX and DSP driver upstreamed (unless I miss something), with cameras send as RFC on linux-media ML May 25 17:08:02 ~fptf May 25 17:08:03 rumour has it, fptf is the Fremantle Porting Task Force, see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91308 May 25 17:08:15 cool May 25 17:08:34 does hardware graphics acceleration work? May 25 17:08:35 Venemo_j: see http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1503893&postcount=159 and the following post May 25 17:08:43 Venemo_j: yes, with maemo May 25 17:09:37 yup, I saw that post May 25 17:09:42 very nice work! May 25 17:10:07 well, since then we put IRTX driver in shape, I expect it in 4.7 May 25 17:10:25 why just with maemo? how about any other OS? May 25 17:10:44 Venemo_j: because this is what I use May 25 17:10:47 :) May 25 17:11:38 Venemo_j: but I don;t see any problem with other OSes running as well, besides HW accell May 25 17:11:57 though this should be achievable as well IMO May 25 17:12:03 fmg: we also dont have pvr driver! May 25 17:12:04 ;) May 25 17:12:15 why wouldn't the hw accel work with other oses? May 25 17:12:17 KotCzarny: SGX == PVR ;) May 25 17:12:30 Venemo_j: missing userspace drivers May 25 17:12:41 doesn't ti offer some binaries? May 25 17:12:48 ahm, you didnt use ',' May 25 17:12:57 thought its some special camera mode ;) May 25 17:13:16 Venemo_j: yes, but I've never played with it, so have no idea if they work May 25 17:13:46 will just have to see for myself someday May 25 17:14:43 yeah, please share the result when and if you do it May 25 17:14:47 Wizzup is using some other OS .. forgot which .. maybe he's tried that too May 25 17:15:31 there is some networking distro on TMO as well, never tried it May 25 17:15:58 networking distro? May 25 17:15:59 also, DocScrutinizer05 said that devuan guys are going to make n900 image May 25 17:16:29 Venemo_j: yep, something with "rolling" in its name :D May 25 17:16:46 ah. May 25 17:16:53 hmm, Iguess it is Kali linux May 25 17:17:35 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96573 May 25 17:18:36 interesting May 25 17:20:34 and freemangordon, how does your 4.6 fare with regards to power management? May 25 17:21:17 still problems, but OMAP maintainer(tmlind) has posted some patches lately May 25 17:21:44 he said the last one is musb, though I doubt a bit :) May 25 17:21:59 musb=? May 25 17:22:06 usb controller May 25 17:22:52 Venemo_j: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg139978.html May 25 17:23:14 ah, cool May 25 17:23:24 hmm, wait, this is the old series May 25 17:23:41 it's a bit suprising to see that there is still activity on such an old chip May 25 17:24:11 Venemo_j: that one http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg140687.html May 25 17:24:50 hmm, which reminds me I have to find time to test it May 25 17:25:16 cool stuff May 25 17:25:19 * freemangordon is going afk, bbl May 25 17:25:25 thanks for showing me freemangordon :) May 25 17:25:30 np :) May 25 18:04:12 hi! what is state of new CSSU?? May 25 18:10:51 no new CSSU :) May 25 18:10:55 or there is? May 25 18:11:19 there are couple of updated packages on github since last CSSU-T and also CSSU-S May 25 18:15:25 there is new thumb version atleast May 25 18:21:43 what exactly was the problem with thumb on the n900 anyway? May 25 18:21:53 all I remember is that it was broken May 25 18:28:17 there was two bugs in hw, but they got fixed by sw. At least that's how i understood it. Look for CSSU-Thumb from maemo.org May 25 18:29:33 I saw it on the wiki May 25 18:29:39 but it didn't say May 25 18:42:13 Venemo_j: read the cssu-thumb thread on TMO May 25 18:45:46 or simply assume Vajb is right, though the fix was complicated and on kernel level May 25 18:46:38 freemangordon: okay May 25 18:46:58 is the fix upstream? May 25 18:47:14 in other words, is it includes in your 4.6? :) May 25 18:47:25 s/includes/included May 25 18:48:36 I think it would be cruft for generic kernels May 25 18:49:22 it's fixing a very specific bug in just one particular SoC May 25 18:50:59 one of the fixes was linker-level IIRC? May 25 18:54:55 Venemo_j: yes. May 25 18:55:03 luke-jr: :nod: May 25 18:57:02 awesome May 25 19:22:06 yet another piece of the puzzle is going to be fit in place :) https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/25/335 May 25 19:51:49 Sicelo: yeah, but I don't use it regularly yet May 25 22:33:06 freemangordon: any proper readme on ASoC explaining what exactly they talk abougt with 'sidetone'? May 25 22:34:21 I think ASoC people pretty much live in their own univertse which is largely unentangled with rest of the world May 25 22:34:47 what about sidetone? May 25 22:35:29 sidetone in my book is a term from phone specific mixer settings, unrelated to OMAP May 25 22:36:11 aiui it means a audio path from mic to earpiece May 25 22:36:52 same class like e.g. comfort noise May 25 22:37:31 okay.. the OMAP can do that in HW May 25 22:37:46 uhuh May 25 22:38:03 the McBSP has features to do that May 25 22:38:15 duh! May 25 22:39:20 ??? May 25 22:39:55 didnt know May 25 22:40:39 sorry to brge in with unrelated question .. i read on wiki that dbus-monitor may be power hungry? if i need to keep track of a dbus signal continuously, what's best way to do that? May 25 22:40:45 *barge May 25 22:41:18 the McBSP is a wonderful IP block May 25 22:41:44 is it a BSP from mcdonalds? May 25 22:43:51 Sicelo: dbus-monitor should not be too power hungry May 25 22:45:17 ah, that helps :) May 25 22:46:53 strace it to make sure .... it waits nicely for a syscall to return May 25 23:03:39 sure May 25 23:03:47 of course May 25 23:04:25 it's just not optimized to filer out only the interesting msgs/signals May 25 23:04:38 filter* May 25 23:05:33 but f course it sleeps as long as no traffic on dbus May 25 23:06:43 if you want sth a tad more optimized, check dbus-scripting package May 25 23:07:06 *very* convenient May 25 23:08:07 ds3: thanks for the info May 25 23:09:12 ~mcbsp May 25 23:09:24 thought as much May 25 23:09:35 ~ping May 25 23:09:36 ~pong May 25 23:10:24 Multi Channel Bogus Synonym pingo May 25 23:11:02 aha. will look at that too. thanks for hint May 25 23:11:09 Serial Protocol? May 25 23:11:45 multi chan buffered serial prot? May 25 23:12:46 bidcir?
